FALL CLASSES - ARTS & CRAFTS This Fall, you preschooler will "fall" in love with our lessons.

Just like the rainbow, our youngest artists will create in the month of September, we will cover a colorful and pattern-rich spectrum of subjects. We'll soak in the warm colors of the sun as we draw a radiating sun face and we'll be careful not to get tangled up in our patterned spider web we draw in October!

Learn about Native American culture through a detailed tepee we'll draw in November, and celebrate the coming of the winter months with a nutcracker that takes his job seriously. We'll draw these (and many more exciting lessons!) while we enhance our fine-motor skills, learn to stay on task, and follow directions, and learn skills so critical in the classroom.

Children experience each of the art disciplines: Drama, Dance, Music, and Visual Arts through fun and engaging theme-based activities.

Preschoolers develop creative expression, movement, motor skills, socialization, language skills and math concepts. Costumes, props, art supplies provided.

Fun-filled days await our students as they learn to draw and color with pastels. We will create detailed, pastel compositions on each week, focusing on a different subject. We will recreate master artist paintings like Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night" or learn about Paul Cezanne's mastery of light and color. Students will also draw eye-catching sea stars along the shoreline and will illustrate a sea turtle with bold patterns. Our instructions will bring remarkable results, and you will want to head to the frame shop with your child's finished pastel pieces. These pastel drawings will reward students with a great sense of pride and accomplishment. Enroll today!

Experience the colorful magic of Fall in the Young Rembrandts classroom. Kick off the Fall season with a cute bear dressed and ready for school, a video game favorite Pixel Block character and the geometrical world of architecture as we draw Notre Dame Cathedral.

Later, students will immerse themselves in the seasonal spirit as they learn still life technique of pumpkins, draw a detailed scarecrow and draw a silly but challenging patterned bat. Finally, get ready for winter as we turn out a "sweet" drawing of a ginger bread house (almost good enough to eat!). We'll draw these (and many more exciting lessons!) while we improve creative and critical thinking skills today's students need. So what are you waiting for? Sign up now!

Interested in reducing stress, increasing energy, and regaining balance? Well then the Tai Chi Mix class will help you find it!

The class is for beginners to advanced students. The first hour will be spent on the basic tai chi movements. Tai Chi is a set of specific movements that take on the appearance of a dance.

This is a non-contact and non combative way of improving health and physical control. The second hour will focus on weapons. Where the sword helps you find your internal “Chi,” the fan will help you smooth the flow of your “Qi.” With both techniques you will improve your balance and muscle tone.
